These past few months have been the best of my life and I am so sad to leave Spain. The people I&#8217;ve met, the amazing places I&#8217;ve traveled to and the delicious food&#8211; it has all been such an incredible experience. If I have one piece of advice for underclassman, it is to go abroad. And try to go to a country where they speak another language and you can stay with a family because it really is the best way to master the language and immerse yourself in the culture.<\/p>\n<p>We finally wrapped our documentary last week and have the screening this week. After months of hard work filming, interviewing and editing, we assembled a final product that i am really proud of and can&#8217;t wait to show everyone.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently writing this from my hostel in Portugal. This is my final trip before the program ends. We have a 5 day weekend because of the Spanish holidays next week. I am finally able to relax a bit and enjoy the last few weeks abroad.<\/p>\n<p>It is bittersweet to leave Spain. I know how much I am going to miss Madrid but I am excited to go home to New York City and hopefully get an internship there this summer. I also was accepted into the Los Angeles internship program for this fall so I will heading to LA in August to get some hands on experience in the industry. Its going to be a very different &#8220;abroad&#8221; experience from Madrid, but I&#8217;m excited to meet new people and conquer a new city.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately\u00a0 I will be apart from Boston for yet another semester but I&#8217;ll be back in the spring to spend my last semester on campus. See you all soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey all, I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already nearing the end of the semester and my time abroad here in Madrid.
